Cisco Intersight Cloud Orchestrator The ICO workflow designer provides:

easy-to-use low-code workflow designer • Low/no-code workflow creation with a modern, drag-and-drop user
experience with control flow support. The workflow designer includes
policy-based, built-in tasks for Cisco UCS®, virtualization, and other Cisco®
devices. A Software Development Kit (SDK) enables Cisco technology
partners to build their own ICO tasks to develop custom solutions.*
• Rollback capabilities to selectively undo a workflow’s tasks in the event
of failure, or to deprovision infrastructure, which when done manually can
often take longer and be more error prone than straight provisioning.
• Extensibility with a task designer that expands the functionality of currently
supported targets or can be used to create new ones. ICO currently
supports Web API with more integration options to come.

With Cisco Intersight Cloud Orchestrator you can truly evolve your
automation strategy to provide consistent experience across on-premises
resources and public clouds.
* ICO currently supports tasks for Pure Storage and Hitachi, with NetApp and deeper
VMware and additional integrations coming soon.
